we are young

I finally have something that almost looks like the real thing (Black Milk Clothing, why do you have to be in Australia?) Now all I need would be a legging version of that. Haha

Don't make me point out the common denominator in all the photos. :)

I'm thinking of making a list for stuff to buy for the family back home. I'm just waiting on my new bank card to finally arrive and that's when I can finally splurge out the cash. Yes I lost my wallet but this lady from the bar messaged me in facebook saying that she had it, so yey! Thank you kind stranger.

I had to put in a new banner for this blog since I basically had none for the past few months.
This time I was inspired by Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto. I used Photoshop CS3 for both the font style and the banner to come together.
The font, Every Truetype is a Wisefont, can be downloaded here.
The splash background used in the album cover is here.

We've exchanged emails for a while and by a while, I meant during the summer, but alas, the seasons are upon us and we had autumn to work with. It was a lovely afternoon with her and her talent at the meadows.

candy talks to strangers

They're celebrating pa's birthday and our hometown's fiesta back home, and I'm stuck here not eating all the goodness our kitchen has to offer. Bummer.

On a good note, I will be heading to London soon with friends and I can't wait. I will be getting my tourist on.

she's long gone

 I finally found the time to do this, blogging and outfit post. 

It has been a while because everyday has been a mix of cries and smiles. I guess majority of the cries are boy problems. After being hurt so many times, I've felt my heart slowly turning into an igneous rock which is a good thing for me. On the other hand, my smiles have been a result of gaining new friends who excessively parties. But hey, I don't get that drunk and pass out on the streets. Oh no no. I'm the responsible drinker type (who tends to cry hysterically at times).

This series of 'Lucille' (which is my real first name) by Joanna has ended now but she has more to show you on those links above. Her dreamy and oftentimes cinematic photos are inspiring and breathtaking.

The weather was just perfect for this and the various locations are just too beautiful. I remembered strolling during the winter and in an eerie sense it was lovely as well.

Also, my chances of getting a scholarship was trashed when I got the rejection letter. Ouch. I have to rise above this though. To keep the sadness away, I went to the city with my camera to just soak in all the people who were hustling and bustling. It's a miracle I didn't do any retail therapy because I was inches close to taking out my debit card and just splurging.

Le resist.

I haven't taken my camera out to the city but I will soon. Still reading the manual because I want to capture more than just using the 'auto'mode. I might finally understand all the lingos and what sort of magic they possess.haha

What a noob.

Meeting new people in a foreign land will always go hand in hand. That's why it's been such a pleasure to meet Joanna, a lovely Polish photographer, for a shoot out at the city and to the gardens (well, more of the latter soon).

It's been really great to listen to her travel stories and learning so much about her style and manner in photography. Her down-to-earth nature made every shot feel comfortable.

the catalyst

Amidst a gray day, I had my coral tights to make the rain go away.

you fall, my pride

"now the hungry lion roars

and the wolf behowls the moon"

From the city to the park and to places in between. It was a beautiful day out with friends.

today i don't feel like doing anything

Wearing a beanie is a perfect excuse 'coz I'm sometimes too lazy to wash my hair.
Dun dun dunnnn...

then we should feed our jewelry to the sea

The bus system is efficient. Sometimes it's too efficient. I have ran to bus stops multiple times and not even making it just when the doors were about to close on me. Oh well. Standing at bus stops is just as interesting though. Sometimes I think that I should just buy a bicycle just so I can save time and bus fares but I have this issue with turning and the possibility of falling whenever I turn. 

There's this thing with random people asking me what time it is, and I always attempt to respond in a british timely-manner. For example, 'half past 7', 'quarter to 9' and 'twenty past 11'. And I always mess it up because I have to think about what I'm saying rather than just saying it's 7:30, 8:45 or 11:20. I mean come on!

Anyone have any plans during the royal wedding? I'll probably just video stream or I'll find some street party where I can crash in. Hmmmm.

so tired of the straight line

fortnight = a period of 14 consecutive days and nights or 336 hours of absolute awesomeness or pure hardwork, depends on how I spend my time really, as school comes to a close starting this Monday. 

I have no idea why they do this at all, someone just told me that schools here just have loads of holidays (and they don't even have Saturday classes!). People who benefit this sort of education system have it made. The exams here are not even the types that I'm used to such as the multiple choice, matching type, identification, fill in the blanks and all that jazz. They have something that challenges my higher intellectual being...essays! I like reading and I like blogging and just when I thought it would be a breeze for me to tap into my non-percolating noggin to produce a thousand-word essay, it's not at all. 

Here's to me finishing an essay before I actually spend my fortnight.
